rihanna 

[GraceRandolph]

Gaga could have Bad Romance and The Edge of Glory as part of her number ones and she'd still have the strongest list.

[Princess Aurora]

Rihanna, Madonna, and Mariah with 19 #1s. The rest feels incomplete

Can't beat Rihanna on this, although she also has a few classics that didn't hit #1

[Abracadabra]

I'd say Rihanna, her singles were usually always the most obvious smashes from her albums.

[MALAMENTE]

Kesha is missing in the OP 

 

I'm gonna say Rihanna 

[GreatestLoveofAll]

Adele's represent her catalog pretty well imo.

66 years felt to expansive to include in one poll and most users are familiar with these tracks.

Rihanna's #1s represents her catalog quite well. 
 

I find it impressive that she's managed to get a number #1 hit from every album besides her debut (Pon De Replay was blocked by We Belong Together). 
 

But as someone already mentioned, she has other bops that didn't reach the top spot as well.
